Why Donate?

I do software development for the KDE community for free. For sure software development is not easy and is time consuming, so any help you can give me is appreciated. My current employer does not use KDE software, so it does not pay me to work in KDE, which I do in my spare time.

My main work for the KDE community is in Plasma Network Management program (Plasma NM). I also sometimes do bugfixing in kdelibs, kded's networkstatus module, Kopete, Bluedevil and Powerdevil.

If you like my work please help me keep working for KDE. Any donation counts a lot.

Update: currently I am working for the German company basysKom, one of the companies helping to develop Plasma Active. At least now I can work full time for KDE :-) However, Plasma NM is not used in Plasma Active yet, only recently it was added to the development image based on Mer (the Meego's successor). The stable Plasma Active One and Two images are based on Meego, which uses connman instead of NM. So although I now work with KDE technology my work at basysKom is not related to Plasma NM so now I spend less time working on Plasma NM than before I joined basysKom. I usually work on Plasma NM only during weekends now.

I still need support to continue the work on Plasma NM, specially patches and help from other developers. I could spend more time on Plasma NM if I received more donations, that way I could make up for the money I would lose for spending less time working on Plasma Active.
